“The Historic Centre of Macao” has, as of 15th July, been officially listed as UNESCO World Cultural Heritage. To commemorate this event with everybody in Macao, the Cultural Affairs Bureau is holding a “Let’s Celebrate! Macao UNESCO World Heritage” Free Postcard Campaign. Everybody is invited to come to the special booths in Senado Square, Areia Preta Park and Carmo Fair (Taipa) to pick up a commemorative postcard and then send it off for free to their family and friends across the globe. The campaign will run from 9 am on Saturday 16th July to 10 pm on Sunday 16th July. Large amounts of postcards have been prepared in four batches and to give everybody a fair chance to participate there are four starting times for distribution: 9 am and 6 pm on both Saturday and Sunday. Starting at those times, all the available postcards will be handed out until there are none left, so to make sure you receive your postcard, please make sure you get to the booth around one of the distribution start times! Participants can send the postcards to addresses in mainland China and overseas immediately by handing them over to assistants who will paste on commemorative stamps. The Macao Post Office will frank and send them out immediately. This postal service is free of charge until 10 pm on each night. The theme of the commemorative postcards, stamps and post office frank is “Macao: World Heritage”, with designs reflecting Macao’s cultural pluralism and carrying the message ‘Celebrate with us! “The Historic Centre of Macao” is now UNESCO World Cultural Heritage!’ in English, Portuguese and Chinese. At the same time, the Cultural Affairs Bureau will distribute the commemorative postcards to schools, associations and organizations in Macao to let their members and employees join in the campaign and celebrate this significant moment in Macao’s history. For more information, please visit the Cultural Affairs Bureau’s website: www.icm.gov.mo, or telephone 3996699 or 3996666.
